The ancestor of the Chen family had been preparing for a long time. Once the "Qingyang Spiritual Fire" came out, the "gold-eating beast" would naturally no longer be spared.
And as the "Gold Devouring Beast" let out an unwilling roar and fell to the ground dead, Zhou Yang and other ten foundation-building monks who had worked hard to maintain the formation breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone's face was full of exhaustion.
Although it was only a battle that lasted half a day, and the ten of them were not the main combatants, it was rare for monks like them in the foundation building stage to see a battle last for so long.
Perhaps only Zhou Yang is the exception.
When he resisted the "beast tide" attack in Zhenyue Immortal City, he fought continuously for several days and nights. Although that kind of continuous battle was not really endless, it was definitely much more intense and difficult than today's battle.
So even though he was tired, he immediately rushed to Zhou Minghan's side with his tired body and supported the pale old man.
"Great-grandfather, are you okay? I have a healing elixir here. Please take the elixir first to suppress the injury!"
He supported the old man and slowly sat down, and quickly took out the healing elixir from the storage bag and fed it to the old man.
Zhou Minghan is over 210 years old, and he may not show any symptoms at ordinary times, but after being injured, it is definitely not as easy to recover as when he was young.
He took the healing elixir fed by Zhou Yang and didn't say anything. He just propped himself up and sat cross-legged, running his exercises to refine the medicine.
After nearly an hour passed like this, he spit out another large mouthful of blood, then wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, and said to Zhou Yang in a low voice: "Don't worry, this little injury won't hurt me anymore."
I just need to rest for a few years after I return home."
Resting for a few years means that the Zhou family's opening and expansion of the new oasis will have to be postponed for a few more years, and the number of mortals in the Zhou family is already about to explode.
Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang both knew this, so although they didn't say much, they were filled with hatred for the Chen family ancestor's act of borrowing a knife to kill someone.
It has to be said that the ancestor of the Chen family achieved his goal of attacking the Zhou family. Although Zhou Minghan did not die at the hands of the "Gold-Eating Beast", the development of the Zhou family was slowed down because of his actions.
"It's really thanks to Minghan that you are here this time. If you hadn't blocked the attack of the [Gold Devouring Beast], someone would have died here today. This reminds me that the last time I hunted the fourth-level monster, it was you too.
I used poisonous needles to weaken that beast, so that no one was dragged into the water before it died. You are really the lucky star we are waiting for!"
While Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan were talking, the ancestor of the Chen family saw Zhou Minghan wake up and came over. He looked at Zhou Minghan with a look of emotion and thanked him.
But these words were so harsh in Zhou Yang's ears.
He glanced at the ancestor of the Chen family, then lowered his head, fearing that he would not be able to hold back and curse.
In comparison, Zhou Minghan was much calmer.
I saw Zhou Minghan reaching out and patting the storage bag, directly taking out the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold", holding the object with both hands and respectfully handing it to the ancestor of the Chen family, saying: "I dare not take it as the ancestor praised me like this, for being able to kill [Gold Devourer]"
[Beast], it all depends on the ancestor who knows things like a god, and has amazing magical powers. The things that the younger generation has done are really not worth mentioning. This thing is now returned to its original owner, and I ask the ancestor to take it back."
When the ancestor of the Chen family heard what he said, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand with a smile and said: "There is no need to take it back. I never thought that this thing can be taken back. Minghan, can you [
The gold-devouring beast] keeps this thing under his mouth, which means that this thing is destined to you, so think of it as my reward for your standing up this time!"
"How can that be done! Ancestor is willing to reward such a precious thing, but the younger generation dare not accept it. Please take it back, ancestor!"
Zhou Minghan shook his head repeatedly and refused to agree. He raised his hands a little higher and handed the object in his hand directly to the ancestor of the Chen family.
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Chen family waved his hands and said: "Minghan, you are wrong! I think your cultivation level is only one step away from opening the Zifu. If you succeed in opening the Zifu, this piece of [Taiyi Fine Gold]
It just allows you to refine it into a fourth-level flying sword for self-defense, so you’d better accept this thing!”
"Old Ancestor's good intentions, I understand this. It's just that my promotion to the ninth level of foundation building was achieved with the help of the elixir. I have no hope of the Purple Mansion in this life, so I really don't have any use for this thing. I also ask Old Ancestor to take it back."
!”
Zhou Minghan unabashedly told the story of how he broke through the realm with the help of the elixir, and he looked determined and refused to accept this piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold".
Seeing that he had said this, the ancestor of the Chen family couldn't say anything more. He could only put away the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" and nodded to him: "Since you insist on doing this, Minghan, I can't.
I won’t force you anymore.”
Next, the ancestor of the Chen family divided the body of the "gold-devouring beast" into several parts on the spot, and then gave two of the beast's teeth and 20% of the body to the Zhou family, while he took 40% of the body and the most important part.
The last 40% of the eyes, teeth and other items were divided equally between the three families including the Yang family in Jinquan Valley and the casual cultivator.
The corpse of an alien beast such as the "Gold-eating Beast" is no longer flesh and blood and cannot be eaten as animal meat. However, after its corpse is refined by earth fire or monks' real fire, it can be tempered enough to refine a fourth-level magic weapon.
Special spiritual gold.
And the two beast fangs given to the Zhou family contain the essence of the "Gold Devouring Beast" and can be used as the main material for refining a fourth-level flying sword.
The Zhou family was able to obtain these two beast fangs, apparently because Zhou Minghan consumed a fourth-level low-grade defensive talisman to block the attack of the "Gold Devouring Beast".
The ancestor of the Chen family made this allocation, which was actually a statement. Even if he wanted to suppress the Zhou family, he would act within the rules and would not break the rules easily.
It goes without saying that rules are important to the relationship between forces.
Although the Chen family is much stronger than the Zhou family, they still don't have the power to break the rules wantonly, because the existence of the rules is much stronger than them.
In the world of Immortal Cultivation in the Boundless Sea of Sand, there is only one force that can do things not according to the rules, and that is the Huangsha Sect who makes the rules and protects them.
The ancestor of the Chen family used a borrowed knife to kill people, which was a calculation within the scope of the rules. He distributed the teeth of the "gold-devouring beast" to the Zhou family, which also followed the distribution rules for immortal cultivators to form a team to eliminate demons.
For the Zhou family, it is certainly a good thing that the ancestor of the Chen family is willing to abide by the rules.
After all, there is still a big gap between the strength of the Zhou family and the Chen family. If the two sides really break up and do things completely not according to the rules, the final result will definitely be one dead and the other injured, and they will make wedding clothes for others in vain.
After finishing the distribution of the spoils, the ancestor of the Chen family immediately took control of the empty boat and carried Zhou Yang and others back to the Baisha River Oasis.
As for the lair of the "Gold Devouring Beast" and the third-level mineral vein "Silver Star Stone", no one paid much attention to it.
Monsters such as "Gold Devouring Beasts" have a very unique characteristic, that is, they only eat and do not eat. They feed on metals, absorbing only the useful parts of the metal to strengthen their bodies and cultivation, and then use the scraps that have lost their spirituality to
Spit it out again.
Moreover, this kind of monster does not have any hobby of collecting treasures, and it even disdains the elixirs that other monsters are competing for, and only likes to consume various spiritual golds.
Therefore, this monster's lair has no exploration value at all.
Although the "Silver Star Stone" can extract the third-level spiritual gold "Star Silver", only one thousand kilograms of "Silver Star Stone" can extract three or four taels of "Star Silver". Zhou Yang and others are all in the foundation building stage.
Monk, who is willing to work as a miner for this little harvest?
A few days later, Zhou Yang and others returned to the Baisha River Oasis. The ancestor of the Chen family immediately took an auxiliary ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill from Zhou Yang and went back to Baituofeng to refine the pill in seclusion. Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan
He stayed in Ping'anfang City and waited for the pill to be completed.
"Xiaojiu, are you wondering why I refused to accept the piece of [Taiyi Fine Gold] before?"
In the backyard of Yuquan Building in Pinganfang City, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang sat opposite each other in a quiet room, talking about what happened a few days ago.
"Great-grandfather Mingjian, my grandson really doesn't understand this matter. It stands to reason that you consumed a fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman and got injured because of it. Even if you accept the piece of [Taiyi Fine Gold], you don't owe him the favor of the Chen family. You
Why did you have to refuse at that time?”
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Minghan suspiciously, waiting patiently for him to answer his questions.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Minghan heard what he said, he said excitedly: "I don't want to accept that thing. There is only one reason, and that is that I want the head of the Chen family to give that thing to us as a gift one day."
Zhou family, congratulations to my Zhou family for being promoted to the Zifu family!"
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard this and instantly understood what Zhou Minghan meant.
He has always been surprised that when faced with the Chen family's ancestor's apparent attempt to kill someone with a knife, the reaction of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was too calm and timid, completely unlike the old patriarch he knew.
Now Zhou Minghan's words made him understand that although the old patriarch was old, his arrogance and ambition had not weakened at all.
The old ancestor of the Chen family used a piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" as a bait to put Zhou Minghan in danger. When Zhou Minghan escaped from danger, it was as if nothing had happened, and he even acted like a senior master giving alms, thinking
This thing that almost killed Zhou Minghan should be given to him as a reward.
This undoubtedly deeply touched Zhou Minghan's nerves and touched the pride hidden deep in his heart.
A piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" is certainly precious, but can it be more precious than the life of Zhou Minghan, a ninth-level monk who built the foundation?
If he had accepted the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" at that time, wouldn't he have been willing to be humbled and belittled his own life and dignity?
Even if he didn't throw the piece of "Taiyi Fine Gold" to the "Gold Devouring Beast" before swallowing it and escaping, he still held back his breath and wanted to tell the ancestor of the Chen family that he and the Zhou family would definitely not be able to let it rub it casually.
You can pinch a piece of mud as much as you want!
After thinking about this, Zhou Yang immediately looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "My grandson understands. Please rest assured, great-grandfather. One day, your grandson will definitely let the head of the Chen family use his own hands to remove the piece of [Taiyi Essence]."
Send the gold to the Zhou family and let the Chen family pay the due price for this incident!"
